Just a heads up that there's a new resource out there for Houdini users:
The Orbolt Smart 3D Asset Store (http://www.orbolt.com). Lots of free stuff available, as well as fee-based professional tools. Everything is try-before-you-buy though.

"The Orbolt Smart 3D Asset Store is an asset marketplace that offers a whole new way to create animations and visual effects."

It's now possible to use the free apprentice version of Houdini to create, upload,share or even sell digital assets. Right now there's a holiday contest (http://www.orbolt.com/faq/question/64/holiday-challenge-submissions) going on as well.
